Watt Nicoll's formative years seem to have been spent in Dundee and
Glasgow. During the 60s and 70s he was mainly known as a songwriter and a
folksinger; he recorded several LPs for the Transatlantic label and toured
extensively. More recently he has flourished in

Poland (they won 3-1). Some of Watt's recordings are detailed below:
